THE ORPHANS BAZAAR.
The Attendance and Interest Incr'

The Attendance and Interest Increas-
ing-New Attractions.
There was quite as big crowd at the Bazaar
of All Nations last night as there was on
Tuesday night. During part of the eve
ming it was even greater. New attractions
were added, and the managers when they
figured up the evenings receipts were more
than gratified over the bazar's success.
Hundreds of little children were disap-
pointed yesterday afternoon on account of
the failure of the Bubble Party" owing to
the sickness of the ladies having the matter
in charge. The attraction this afternoon
will be the Mother Goose Quadrille" and
tomorrow afternoon and evening the
Donkey Party" will be given.
From the time the fair opened last night
until it closed at IL o'clock, the hall was
crowded Looking down from the gallery
the scene was one of animation and beauty.
The pretty girls and handsome matrons and
the richness and attractiveness of the booths
made the picture a brilliant one. In spite
of the replenishings during the day, the
booths began, by the closing hour, to show
a diminution of stock, but the ladies have
yet many things in reserve. and tonight
will see the booths quite as full of bric-a-
brac and fancy work as ever.

BRIGHT WORLDS ABOVE.
The Planets Aspects During the Years
Last Month.

Last Month.
Jupiter is morning star, and shines on
December mornings before the sun rises
with a lustre second only to that of the
peerless Venus One of the pleasaDtest
planetary observations of the month will be
to watch the approach of the two brightest
planets of the solar family, though neither
of them is seen in the most radiant aspect.
Mars is morning star. He is approaching
the earth, growing larger and taking on
more rudy tint. He is fast lessening the
intervening distance between himself and
Uranus, and at the close of the month there
is only the difference of about half an hour
in the time of the rising of the two planets.
In this case Mars travels the faster and
Overtal5es Uranus, both planets moving in
the same direction. In the case of Venus
and Jupiter, the planets are travelling in
opposite directions, and must eventually
meet Mars may easily be found shining as
a red star in the constellation of Virgo,
and rising about midnight on the last of
the month.
Saturn is morning star, and a most inter
esting incident in his historysmarks his pas
sage among the stars in December. During
the first half of the month he seems to
make plunge through the cluster Pr@sepe,
and will make fine subject for telescope
study. Astronomers have long desired to
see tiny star ginning through the opening
in Saturn's outer ring, and thus proving,
beyond question, that the sky is visible be-
yond and that the opening is not due to
dark shading in the ring.
Uranus is morning star He is visible
with the help of an opera glass in the con-
stellation Virgo, about L 80 southwest of
Theta Virgins.
The morning stars at the close of the
month are Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Mars,
Uranus and Saturn; the evening star is
Neptune.
The December moon fulls on the 30th.
On the Sth she is in conjunction with Mars
On the 9th she is at her nearest point to
Uranus, and on the 18th is in conjunction
with Venus. She pays her respects to
Jupiter on the 18th, and is at her nearest
point to Mercury on the 18th.
The days decrease in length until the 18th,
when the minimum is reached. After this
the days remain of the same length, Oh 8m.,
for the eight succeeding days, until the
25th, when the days increase is one precious
minute, a tangible proof that the sun has
turned his face northward. On the 31st the
days increase amounts to three minutes.

Marie Prescott as "Parthenia" Before a

Marie Prescott made her bow to Savannah

here since it was presented by Mary Ander-
son. Miss, Prescott is a talented actress,
and almost with her first appearance she
established herself in the favor of the
audience. Comparison with Mary Anderson
is, OF course, inevitable, but Miss Prescott's
style of acting is so entirely different that
it is unjust to say that Miss Anderson is
her superior Her impersonation of Par

admirable piece of acting, and his concep-

CAUGHT IN A CYCLONE.
The British Bark Siberia in Port in a
Leaking Condition.

The British bark Siberia, Capt. j. H.
Reid, was towed into Tybee road yesterday
in leaking condition. She is from Pensa-
cola for Queensborough with a cargo of
lumber.
The bark left Pensacola Nov. IA. and had
fine weather until she arrived i'll the Gulf
of Florida about the 18th, when head winds
were encountered After clearing the gulf
the blow increased and a strong northeaster
set in and continued until the 2Sth. The
ship was kept under lower topsails, the wind
increasing in violence and at times blew a
perfect cyclone. On the 2Sth a heavy
sea struck the ship, causing
the donkey boiler TO break adrift in the Ell
CINE room. The same sea struck the stew
ard aud washed him under the leeScuppers,
and he was picked up insensible, with his
collar-bone fractured. The heavy straining
of the vessel caused her to leak freely, and
the crew was kept constantly at the pumps
Several of the crew became exhausted and
retired, and the Captain determined to
make for the nearest port. He tried to make
the West Indies, bnt the headwinds pre-
vented him. He then bore up for Tybee,
and arrived in the roads yesterday morn
ing with the crew completely exhausted.
The vessel was leaking at the rate Of il
inches an hour while at sea. She is now
leaking at the rate of inches per hour in
fresh water, and will have to come up to
the city for survey. She will most likely
have TO discharge her cargo. The wounded
steward was brought up yesterday and sent
to st. Joseph's Inflrmary.

Jacksonville's Board of Trade Urging
Argument Before Congress.
At a meeting of the Board of Trade
Directors yesterday communication from
the Jacksonville Board of Trade was read,
stating that out of the fifteen members of
the Congressional Committee on Rivers and
Harbors ten are from the South, but there
is not a single representative out
sido of Congress to press the
interests of any Southern port. The COM
munication urged concert of action of all
the South Atlantic ports and that repro
sentative from each, or, if it is deemed ad-
visable, general representation be sent to
Washington to lay before Speaker Carlisle
the needs and necessities of the Southern
ports and for liberal appropriations. The
letter also urged the necessity for
immediate action and that a representative
should be in Washington by the 9th or 10th
of this month at the latest The directors
of the Board of Trade decided that the sub
ject was one requiring immediate attention,
and referred the matter to the Marine Com

A Chance t. Give the City a Pure and
Wholesome Water Supply.
The old pumps which are scattered about
the city are unsightly in appearance and
costly to maintain, and the water which
they furnish is fruitful source of income
to doctors, druggists and undertakers 1t
has been suggested that the city could spend
money in no wiser way than by substituting
for them hydrants connected with the
water mains: There are a large number of
people who are compelled to rely on
the pumps for their water supply,
and whether it is healthy or
unhealthy they must use it. The substitu-
ton of MIGRANTS would rid the city of the
pumps, which are offensive to the sight and
would furnish to these people water which
they could drink with safety. A test of the
pump water, which was made somo time
ago, proved that it was foul and unwhole-
some, containing large amounts of organic
matter. The one in Calhoun square gives
the best water, but even that is far from

They Ask for Work at the Old Rates
The Strike Declared Off.
The old strike of the lumber longshoremen
has been declared off. 1t was really off
several months ago. The places of the men
who struck were promptly supplied, and the
only effect their strike had was to deprive
them of work. They had never acknowl-
edged that the strike was over, however,
until yesterday. They got tired having
nothing to do and concluded to go back
to work if they could. The committee of
the Lumber Workingmen's Union Associa-
ton addressed letter to Messrs. Dale,
Dixon & Co., and j. j. McDonough & Co.,
asking to be taken back. Yesterday they
received reply from the firms to the
effect that the stevedores had been in
structed to employ them at the old rates.
The old rates are 81 and IS 30 on timber,
81 so and So on lumber in coastwise vessels
